About the Book

The Japanese-language edition of Vivian Yang's "Shanghai Girl" was first published in Japan in 2002 as "S.G. Shan Hai Gaaru." This 2011 U.S. edition features an excerpt of the author's WNYC Leonard Lopate Essay Contest-winning new novel "Memoirs of a Eurasian." In the post-Cultural Revolution Shanghai of 1984, university senior Sha-fei Hong longs to study in the U.S. for graduate school, ostensibly to pursue the American Dream, but partly to escape her sexually-harassing Communist cadre stepfather. She meets the visiting Chinese-American businessman Gordon Lou, who has political ambitions and ties to the Chinatown underworld in the U.S. He takes Sha-fei to the American Consulate in Shanghai to look into studying in America. There, Sha-fei meets the intern Edward Cook, a young, Caucasian American lawyer who has a strong preference for all things Asian. Within a year, these three people of entirely different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds cross paths in New York. Value systems and self-interests clash. The curtain falls on a dramatic stage of ambition, sex, intrigue, and murder. Vivian Yang's "Memoir of a Eurasian" and "Shanghai Girl" are available in paperback on Amazon and on Kindle. The Amazon Vivian Yang Page (http: //www.amazon.com/Vivian-Yang/e/B001S03LZM/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0) Editorial Reviews "Shanghai Girl is superb literature ... one of the best of contemporary novels written by Chinese authors ... (Yang is a) Shanghai success ... We eagerly await Yang's next literary feat." --EVE Magazine "A novel that is hard to put down once you've picked it up ... Yang masterfully transports the living onto the page in a way that is sure to make any writer jealous and any reader sit up and take notice." --Blogcritics.org "Shanghai Girl - a feat in itself ... Yang puts a new, often lighthearted spin on frequently covered topics like Chinese identity, the U.S. immigrant experience and reverberations of the Cultural Revolution." -- HK Magazine --HK Magazine "Yang brings with her an expanded array of journeys and experiences, reflective of not only a changing America, but also of a world in transition." --The Museum of Chinese in America (MoCA) "Another 'Tale of Two Cities' ... Paris and London played roles in Dickens' famous novel A Tale of Two Cities. In Shanghai Girl, it is Shanghai and New York." --The Sampan (Boston)
